Today is a new challenge at Time Out and I am so excited to be the GD.....I used to be a member of the DT and it remains one of my fave challenges in blogland. This time we have a Home Sweet Home photo inspiration and it is perfect for all those of us who are still trying to get our Christmas cards made :)
Isn't this just a delight?! I was inspired by the woodgrain and white Christmas icons on the hooks and also by the red and green colour combo on the stockings below:
I inked with versamark through my stags head stencil (available to buy in my folksy store) and white embossed it on a piece of woodgrain patterned paper. A stamped Christmas banner from Avery Elle and a touch of holly complete the design and bring in the red and green.
In addition to Time Out, I will link this card up at AAA Cards where the theme is Christmas and at Happy Little Stampers December Christmas challenge where it Anything Goes with the optional twist of using a stencil which I have done.
You have 2 weeks to play along with us at Time Out - I hope you check out the amazing designs from the talented DT and join in with the fun!
Thanks for stopping by,

ReplyDeleteCongrats on your guest spot, Sarah. I'm using your stencil for my card too but it is different from yours. I love the bright white of the embossing and the banner sentiment.
